so do you have any height restrictions in your room for the WF?

i hope your DTW works out as well as it has for me.

Thanks! I do have a serious height restriction which is why I'll only be running autos in this set up. I have 36" between the top of the WF and the face of my light (MarsHydro TS 600) ..and that's with the light raised as high as it can go. It sits in a converted PC cabinet that's 22" deep x 28" wide x 59" high. So I basically have a 2'x2' area to work with. I really need to get a tent up and running but want to get at least one grow out of this cabinet. It's been set up for aquaponics over the last four years and I put a ton of work into converting it for the upcoming mission. The first lesson has already been learned, though. I need more space.

yeah, i've learned the hard way a few times about letting them veg too long. had a few grow up into the light which caused them to nut up only on those buds in the light at least. into the hash machine they went so no big loss.

what strain/breeder of the autos?

Fortunately, I was able to gain about 8 additional inches by doing away with the ratchet hanger and cables that came with the light.

I'll be starting Fast Buds' CBD Crack in a week or so. If all goes well, that should tide me over until fall when the temps go back to being cool enough to run this system again without heat issues. At that point, I'll give the CBD White Widow Haze a shot. I think that the breeder (Healing Path) is out of business. Oregon Elite Seeds used to carry a bunch of their gear and now everything that they have of theirs is marked down to half price.

Space is love. I bought my house because it had almost everything we wanted plus a perfect basement to grow in. I have hot and cold water, heat, air exchange, windows, and even a floor drain. We liked the house, but the basement had me sold as soon as I walked down the stairs.

yes, a floor drain close by might be the best thing for a grow room!!!

It's off in a corner but its soooooo useful.
I put my flower tent on that side of the room so I can just drop a pump in the end tote and pump it 8 ft to the drain.
Eventually I'd like to dig it out some and make it recessed like a little floor sink. I empty my 6gal shop vac into it too and it splashes around if I let it out too fast.
Everything else I have hoses cut at length to run over to the drain. Veg system is shove a garden hose up the 3/4" tube and turn valve and it pumps itself out down the drain.

Yeah, depression and anxiety have plagued me for as long as I can remember. I'd been prescribed everything under the sun and none of it had any effect on me other than unnecessary weight gain. Using drops of CBD oil in my nicotine vaporizer has helped so I thought I'd go this route since I've always enjoyed all aspects of cannabis. I haven't grown indoors in close to 20 years and a lot has changed since then. Hopefully all goes well from here on in.

EDIT: Also trying to combat neuropathy that's developed in my feet and legs over the past few years.

when i was running my rdwc, i plumbed in a drain line right to the floor drain next to the water heater. turn a valve and the whole thing would empty in a minute or so.
now it just acts as a drainage system for my dtw so still useful.

Pretty much the same. I've given up getting actual help with my mental health or pain relief and have gone all in on mmj. All the dispensaries want to just focus on thc and thca and end up breeding out all of the CBD so just growing my own to get nearly any CBD content is nice. I've looked for good thc/CBD hybrids but always get frustrated and give up.
Have a neurological disorder and a pretty messed up head.

good for you man! the potential of this stuff to replace drugs from pfizer and merck is exponential. but they have trillions to keep it on the back burner. i'm still amazed at what it does for epilepsy. remarkable.

Have definitely weighed it as an option, I supposed I could do a half run of some straight CBD strain and just mix it in when I smoke. Heavy indicas that give most people the couch lock feeling are my mood stabilizer. It clears my head and let's me function like a somewhat normal person. I like pretty much anything kush or OG and LOVE grapes and purples. I like to run my flower long and get heavy amber trichomes.

After reading you and Fragile's last few posts, I think I have also developed drain envy but I don't think that CBD will rid me of that ..lol

What's actually helped me more than any drug is meditation and, truth be told, a large part of me wants to partake in order to aid in my meditation as I've kind of plateaued spiritually. I look at my 'disability' as an actual ability because I'm able to perceive what others may never have the ability to see. But, this ability is both a blessing and a curse. The best way to describe it is I feel very much like the guy that's been set free in Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Kind of stuck between worlds.
